SFMC Uniform

Uniforms
The purpose of a uniform is to provide identification of your profession and you're standing within that profes-sion by using insignia, equipment, and accessories. The purpose of the SFMC uniform guidelines are to pro-vide a standard professional appearance that allows a STARFLEET Marine to be recognized. Your dress, ap-pearance, and conduct reflect your self-respect and is a prime indicator of the degree of respect with which you regard your participation in the STARFLEET Marine Corps.

Class A
A Class A Uniform is considered a Dress Uniform. These uniforms are worn on formal occasions such as social events, the annual Dress Mess or dinners hosted by Admiral's or General's. These uniforms are usually not worn before 1800 hours (6:00 PM).

On certain occassions, a Class B uniform such as the Monster Blank can be substituted for a Class A uniform with the appropriate uniform belt & gloves.

Class B
Service Uniforms fall under the rating of Class B. A B uniform is not as formal as a Class A, so it is used for official functions such as Marine Musters, ceremonies where members are promoted or given awards or holiday functions. If necessary, a Class C uniform can be worn if the member does not possess a Class B uniform. One of the popular Class B uniforms is the Monster Black.

Class C
The Class C Duty Uniform is the most common uniform in the SFMC. As the name implies, they are meant to be worn while on duty. A duty uniform issued by the SFMC will be very similar to the standard issued uniforms by STARFLEET members. Local commanders will usually prescribe the Class C uniform as the uniform of the day for most functions.

Class D
The most comfortable uniform to wear is the Class D or SFMC Field Uniform. Sometimes referred to as Battle Dress Uniforms or BDU's, these uniforms are meant for field work where normal uniforms could get dirty. A BDU is normally comprised of a material called ripstop which resists dirt, cuts, rips & tearing. BDU's are compromised of a jacket, t-shirt and pants.

Local Uniforms
Local uniforms are a special class of uniforms prescribed by local commanders specific to their unit. Thats a fancy way of saying that unit members wear the same shirt, t-shirt, sweatshirt or baseball cap.

These items will be unique the unit in question by having the units name, chapter name or logo silk screened or emblazoned on them.
